Climate changes and emerging infectious diseases in the Mediterranean wetlands
Marion Vittecoq focused on the Mediterranean Basin, a key area for parasite spread, at the crossroads of several continents. She investigated the epidemiology of two important emerging zoonotic viruses, avian influenza and West Nile viruses, and correlated her findings with data on wildlife, domestic birds and humans, in the light of climate change. Now that host-pathogen interactions are increasingly altered by global climate change, her work may have a significant impact on virus surveillance strategies and public health.
My research focuses on emerging infectious diseases in the Mediterranean basin in the context of global change. I work on a multidisciplinary project, which combines field sampling, molecular analysis and climatic modelling to gain insight into Influenza A virus and West Nile virus dynamics in natural ecosystems.
